Our rebuttal to Cord Cutters' rebuttal
By Komando Staff, Komando.com
Last week, Kim posted a column titled "The real cost of cutting the cord: What streaming companies don't want you to know," and it caught the attention of Cord Cutters News. They called Kim's column an "anti-cord cutting story."
Them's fightin' words, as our grandparents would have said.
Our story wasn't anti-cord cutting. Our goal is to educate our audience about myriad streaming services, devices, channels and apps that promote cutting the cord to save money. These costs add up. It's not a zero-sum game — canceling one service and adding another. In fact, many people use cable AND streaming services together.
"Its, (sic) like saying cooking at home will cost more than Applebee's if you buy the most expensive thing in the grocery store," Luke Bouma writes.
Actually, Luke, it's more like ordering off the menu at Cheesecake Factory. There are almost too many options — so many that some of us suffer analysis paralysis — and if you're not careful, you could not only end up spending more than you budgeted, but you'll overeat and roll out of the restaurant clutching your stomach.
We hold firm: What streaming services don't want you to know is that the costs add up if you're not careful. That's why you have consumer technology advocates like Kim Komando.

Six Irish university sides will battle it out this Wednesday in three opening round fixtures of the new look Rustlers Irish Universities Collingwood Cup.
The winners will then join the five other sides who have received first round byes in the quarter finals for the three day tournament hosted by Queens University from February 5-7 in Belfast.
Both of last season's beaten semi finalists are in first round action on Wednesday. University of Limerick will entertain Maynooth University and DCU travel to meet NUI Galway.
The remaining first round fixture will see Trinity College Dublin have home advantage against near neighbours Royal College of Surgeons.
The Westerners haven't experienced a happy season up to this and failed to record any wins in their league campaign with only a 1-1 home draw against Trinity College Dublin to their credit.
The poor form saw them finish bottom of the Premier North and facing of a relegation play off game next month against Athlone IT in a bid to hold on to the top flight status they only achieved with promotion from Division One last season.
The Collingwood Cup now gives manager John (Jumbo) Brennan's side the chance to redeem themselves.
'The Collingwood Cup has a huge tradition in NUI Galway and it's vital that we get past DCU and make it to the last eight in Queens' said Brennan.
' I expect to be at full strength apart from the injured Conor Melody and our other Galway United lads Maurice Nugent, Gary Kinneen and Conor Barry are all available to give us a boost' he added.
It's an important period too for DCU head coach Declan Roche who is facing into two crucial games on successive weeks that will possibly make or break the season.
After travelling to Galway this Wednesday the Glasnevin side have a home Premier League quarter final tie against University of Limerick the following week but Roche's first priority is to get the win in Galway and continue keep their bid for a first ever Collingwood Cup win alive.
'DCU have never won the Collingwood Cup and after several disappointments in semi finals including last year's narrow defeat by the eventual winners UCC we would like to think that this could be our year.
The new format in the cup this year has unfortunately given us a first round game against NUI Galway but we knew about this game since the draw in September so myself and coach Johnny McDonnell will have the players totally focused on going to Galway to win the game. We have already beaten them 7-0 in an earlier league game at our place but the cup is a totally different matter altogether' said Roche.
Jamie Flynn is delighted at the way his first season in charge of the University of Limerick senior side has gone so far and is relishing the chance to bid for their first ever Collingwood Cup win.
Limerick under previous manager Ian Sullivan were unlucky in the past two season's losing out in the 2016 final to a late UCD winner at The Mardyke and last year the Belfield hodoo struck again when UCD edged them out in extra time with a 2-1 semi final win.
'I expect to be at full strength with our more experienced players William Fitzgerald, Alan Murphy, Ian Fletcher and Jack Lynch all available plus the under 19's lads. Our league form was decent three wins and two defeats to give us a quarter final place and the last meeting with Maynooth came in last year's Collingwood Cup when we beat them 2-1 to reach the semi final before losing to UCD in extra time' said Flynn.
Maynooth have also reached the Premier League quarter finals with a visit to UCC coming up next week and they are facing a daunting task in Limerick with manager Garrett Dodrill anxious to have a full strength squad available for this crucial fixture.
'I'm hoping to have everyone available but unfortunately with the League of Ireland clubs back in pre season training and playing friendly games the picture regarding our players attached to senior clubs isn't clear yet ' said Dodrill.
'This is a crucial period for Maynooth with cup and league games all coming up and like UL we won't want to miss out on taking part in the Collingwood week in Belfast so the situation we find ourselves in is not ideal but we'll get on with it' added Dodrill.
Premier League Trinity College will go into this cup tie as firm favourites against a Royal College of Surgeons side who operate in Division Four.
While Trinity managed to hold on to their top level status by gaining a precious point with a 1-1 draw at NUI Galway in their final fixture to keep them out of the relegation zone the league campaign proved to be a struggle for the Surgeons.
The only joy they had was a 1-1 draw with the DCU 'D' side but it still left them bottom of their five team group.
Robbie Gaul Trinity's most experienced player will be setting out on his seventh Collingwood Cup campaign after representing DCU on five previous occasions and then last year Trinity where he is doing a PhD.
'This will be my seventh attempt and possible my last to finally pick up a Collingwood Cup winners medal. I'm looking forward to the game and we know all about the dangers of going into a cup tie as hot favourites so we won't be taking anything for granted against the Surgeons' said Gaul.
Surgeons league form will be put to one side for this game as manager Brian O'Sullivan endeavours to cause what would be the shock of the round.
'The league proved difficult for us and dealing with lectures and hospital placements it proved difficult to field our strongest possible side but I'm pleased with the response in the build up to the Trinity game and who knows anything can happen in a cup tie' explained O'Sullivan.

Q: Count specific character in text file How would I count the number of times a specific character (nonwhitespace) occurs in a text file? (i.e "," "." "a" "k" "m")
Here is what I have so far:
file = open("filename.txt","r")

num_char = 0
num_words = 0
num_lines = 0

for line in file:
    words = line.split()
    num_lines += 1
    num_words += len(words)
    num_char += len(line)

print ("Character count:\t" + str(num_char))
print ("Word count:\t\t" + str(num_words))
print ("Line count:\t\t" + str(num_lines))
print ("Distribution of characters: ")

code for distribution so far
text = file.read()
file.close()
words = text.strip()
final = words.lower()
for i in range(len(words)):
    first = final.count("a")
    second = final.count("b")
print (first)
print (second)

This gives me my desired output for the a and b but is not very efficient to write each line of code for every character. How would I loop through for every possible character and then print out the count?

A: Use collections.Counter.
from collections import Counter

file = open("filename.txt", "r")

num_char = 0
num_words = 0
num_lines = 0
char_distribution = Counter()

for line in file:
    words = line.split()
    num_lines += 1
    num_words += len(words)
    num_char += len(line)
    char_distribution += Counter(line.lower())

print("Character count:\t{}".format(num_char))
print("Word count:\t\t{}".format(num_words))
print("Line count:\t\t{}".format(num_lines))
print("Distribution of characters: ")
for char, count in sorted(char_distribution.items()):
    if char.isalpha() or char in ',.':
        print("\t{}\t\t{}".format(char, count))

The world of SEO is a constantly changing place, a fact that people who work in SEO marketing or follow SEO trends know only too well. Between Google's updates and algorithm changes, the continued rise of mobile search, and ever-evolving user behaviors, SEO marketers must consistently adjust their strategies to stay on top of current trends and get the best return for their efforts.
Towards the end of each year, it has become customary—traditional even—for SEO players to speculate about trends that will create quite an impact on the industry for the following year. While not all of these predictions see the light of day, SEO marketers would still do well to be aware of the major SEO trends that are likely to affect the landscape of the industry in the coming year. Here are some of the major SEO trends that you should be aware of for 2018.
Google has already announced its plan to roll out mobile-first indexing, which it has been testing since late 2016, and many within the SEO industry believe that Google will finally implement it in 2018. Currently, Google indexes the desktop version of a website first and generously favors websites that are also mobile-friendly. Mobile-first indexing is definitely going to change the game, as it means the mobile version of a website will get dibs in the indexing process. If that doesn't stress out enough the importance of having mobile-friendly website, then nothing ever would.
SEO experts have been stressing the importance of mobile friendly websites for the past couple of years as the number of mobile searches has outgrown desktop searches. Regardless of whether Google implements mobile first indexing in 2018 or later, you must make sure that your website displays and performs properly on mobile devices.
Google already favors mobile friendly websites and has made mobile friendliness a search ranking factor. With more people now searching on mobile devices, it is crucial that your website enhances the mobile user experience. Your website must not only display and perform properly across all mobile devices, but it must also have fast loading speeds, or you will have a very high bounce rate from mobile users. By making your website mobile friendly now, you will be ready when Google does implement mobile first indexing.
The use of voice search has been steadily increasing over the last several years and took a major jump in 2017. The rise started when voice search became a feature on most smartphones, and it has grown and evolved as devices like Google Home and Amazon Alexa became more popular.
Around 1 in every 5 Google searches is a query from voice search and according to ComScore, voice search will account for half of all searches in 2020. Without a doubt, this is a growing trend that SEO marketers must take into account when planning their strategies.
The biggest effect that the rise of voice search will have on SEO is how we deal with keywords. Compared to the search queries people type on their computers or devices, voice search queries look quite different. Typed queries tend to be shorter phrases with exact match keywords, while voice search queries are typically longer, broad phrases with the syntax of natural language. This means that SEO marketers must pay more attention to the long-tail, semantic nature of voice search queries and try to understand and meet the user's intent with these queries. Shifting your keyword strategy to better accommodate voice search will help draw more search traffic from mobile devices.
2017 has brought about many changes to accommodate the increasing popularity of voice search, including changes to the Google SERPs, the dominance of Google AMP (accelerated mobile pages), the rise of HTTPS, and reformatting of rich snippets. Some of these trends will continue into 2018 and some will probably fall by the wayside.
Link building has long been a staple of a solid SEO strategy, but the way Google has valued backlinks has changed significantly. For your backlinks to provide any benefits, they must be quality links that add value to your website and contribute to your brand or authority. Link building should be thought of as more of a long-term, networking strategy in which companies build relationships and exchange quality links to help develop their brand.
Search engines now have the ability to associate mentions of brands, institutions, organizations, and people without links to their webpages. While quality links still matter, the content around the hyperlinked text is also very important. This trend will continue in 2018.
Content is and always will be king in the world of SEO. As Google continues to refine its search algorithms, quality content that provides real value to the user will continue to be more important each year. Google is getting much better at recognizing well-written content, and it also tends to favor fresh content over old content. You should aim to consistently produce fresh, valuable content to give your content marketing strategy at better shot at success.
Your content marketing strategy for 2018 should also go beyond just textual content and incorporate visual content. Social media posts with images always receive more than twice the engagement of those without, and many believe increased engagement on social media can affect organic rankings. Visual search is also growing and tech companies like Google and Pinterest are staying on top of this trend by developing visual search engines. With Google placing more value on visual content on your website, it has become doubly important to not only include engaging visuals, but to make sure they are optimized as well.
One theme that these SEO trends for 2018 have in common is the emphasis on the importance of quality. Search engines like Google are continuing to get better at recognizing quality content, visual content, mobile friendly web designs, and backlinks in order to accomplish their main goal of delivering the most relevant, high-quality search results to their users. Focus on the quality of your website and content, and you're well on your way to refining your SEO marketing strategy for 2018.


The Design Museum will mark the 150th anniversary of the opening of the first John Lewis store on Oxford Street in London with a pop-up exhibition which explores the design stories behind some of the most popular products in British high street history.
Showcasing over 100 products, including current best sellers and historical pieces from the Design Museum's own collection, 'John Lewis: How We Live Today' will look at the retailer's influence on the British shopping landscape across a century and a half of trading, and considers the design thinking behind some of the everyday items that shape our lives.
With products ranging washing machines to radios, clothes to kitchen utensils, the exhibition will also look at how innovations in commercial design have played out on the shop floor.
'John Lewis: How We Live Today' will run from 8 to 21 September 2014 at the Design Museum in London's Shad Thames.


Guam Regional Medical City (GRMC) is a new 260,000 SF, 130-bed state of the art hospital that will include 15 dedicated emergency beds, 15 intensive care rooms, eight surgery rooms, a birthing center and a neonatal care unit. It is five stories tall with a partial basement at one end. The structural system consists of spread/mat foundations, cast-in-place concrete walls/columns and a precast double tee floor/roof system. The exterior of the facility consists of ribbon windows, curtain walls and precast concrete cladding.
Because the schedule was aggressive, foundation design was fast-tracked to allow the Owner to meet their preferred opening date. Foundation design was completed when the remainder of the building was only at 65% design level. This involved extensive coordination and using tools such as Revit streamlined the process.
In addition to being structural engineer of record, BASE also provided the building code required special inspections. This allowed for seamless coordination between the design and construction of the primary structure.
BASE investigated various systems for the structural system including cast-in-place concrete, structural steel and precast concrete. Although not nearly as prevalent as cast-in-place concrete and structural steel for hospital construction, precast concrete was ultimately selected in order to address the unique construction challenges of being on a remote island. Cost and schedule also played a significant role in this decision. BASE was integral in ensuring that the strict functional requirements of the GRMC could be met with the precast concrete system.
The facility was designed as an essential facility with extremely high seismic forces (seismic design category D) and typhoon loading (170 mph wind speed). The precast concrete floor system was analyzed and designed for stringent vibration limitations for both patient comfort and sensitive equipment. The fourth and fifth floors (patient rooms) were designed for a maximum vibration velocity of 8000 min./sec (and maximum peak acceleration of 0.5% g) and the first through third floors (surgery, operating rooms etc.) were designed for a maximum velocity of 4000 min./sec (and maximum peak acceleration of 0.2% g).

Parties: Howard Western and City of Delta
Issued: September 3, 2009
TOPIC CATEGORIES:
B: Conditional Uses
R(viii): Other Topics (Appealing Land Uses Decisions)
Utah law requires that neighboring landowners file an administrative appeal of land use decisions within a limited time frame. Failure to file a local appeal is failure to exhaust administrative remedies, which deprives neighboring landowners of their right to challenge the decision in the district court.
DISCLAIMER The Office of the Property Rights Ombudsman makes every effort to ensure that the legal analysis of each Advisory Opinion is based on a correct application of statutes and cases in existence when the Opinion was prepared. Over time, however, the analysis of an Advisory Opinion may be altered because of statutory changes or new interpretations issued by appellate courts. Readers should be advised that Advisory Opinions provide general guidance and information on legal protections afforded to private property, but an Opinion should not be considered legal advice. Specific questions should be directed to an attorney to be analyzed according to current laws.
Advisory Opinion
Advisory Opinion Requested by: Howard Western
Local Government Entity: Delta City
Applicant for the Land Use Approval: The KEG Company
Project: Telecommunications Tower
Date of this Advisory Opinion: September 3, 2009
Opinion Authored By: Brent N. Bateman, Lead Attorney,
Did Delta City properly issue a conditional use permit and/or a building permit to construct a large telecommunications tower in the City's RR1 (Rural Residential) zone?
Summary of Advisory Opinion
The City may have violated state law and local ordinances when it issued a conditional use permit and/or a building permit to construct the telecommunications tower. However, Utah law requires that the neighboring landowners file an administrative appeal of the decisions of local governments within a limited time frame. Failure to file a local appeal is failure to exhaust administrative remedies, which deprives neighboring landowners of their right to challenge the decision in the district court. Mr. Western has failed to file a local appeal to the issuance of the conditional use permit or the building permit. Therefore, he is unable to challenge the now complete construction of the cell tower.
A request for an advisory opinion may be filed at any time prior to the rendering of a final decision by a local land use appeal authority under the provisions of Utah Code § 13-43-205. The opinion is meant to provide an early review, before any duty to exhaust administrative remedies, of significant land use questions so that those involved in a land use application or other specific land use disputes can have an independent review of an issue. It is hoped that such a review can help the parties avoid litigation, resolve differences in a fair and neutral forum, and understand the relevant law. The decision is not binding, but, as explained at the end of this opinion, may have some effect on the long-term cost of resolving such issues in the courts.
The request for this Advisory Opinion was received on June 15, 2009 from Howard Western. A letter with the request attached was sent via certified mail, return receipt requested, to Gregory J. Schafer, City Recorder/Finance Director, 76 North 200 West, Delta, Utah 84624-9440. Mr. Schafer's name was listed on the State's Governmental Immunity Database as the contact person for the District. By a letter dated July 9, 2009, Gayle Bunker, Mayor of Delta City, submitted the City's response to the Advisory Opinion request. By a letter dated July 25, 2009, Howard Western submitted a response to the City's submission. On August 18, 2009, Mayor Bunker by telephone indicated that the City had no further response.
The following documents and information with relevance to the issue involved in this Advisory Opinion were reviewed prior to its completion:
Request for an Advisory Opinion dated May 20, 2009, filed with the Office of the Property Rights Ombudsman by Howard Western, with attachments.
Letter from Mayor Gayle Bunker dated July 9, 2009, with attachments.
Letter from Howard Western dated July 25, 2009, with attachments.
Howard and Betty Jo Western ("Western") are owners of a parcel of property in Delta, Utah. Near their home, on property owned by the "Millard County Motor Posse," is a chain link fenced enclosure containing a tall (196 feet) lattice telecommunications tower ("Cell Tower") and accompanying electronic equipment. Mr. Western believes that the Cell Tower has been wrongly located and constructed in violation of city ordinance.
According to the minutes of the Delta City Planning and Zoning Commission, the Commission approved a conditional use permit to construct the CellTower on September 18, 2008, and granted the permit on September 22, 2008. The Commission added two conditions on the permit; that the equipment building be constructed in earth tone colors approved by Delta City, and that the area be enclosed by a chain link fence. On November 11, 2008, a building permit application was submitted to the City. Delta City issued a building permit for construction of the CellTower on February 25, 2009.
According to the January 22, 2009 minutes of the Delta City Council, construction was underway by this date, even though it appears that no building permit had issued. At that meeting, City Councilwoman Betty Jo Western, wife to Howard Western, raised the issue of the CellTower being erected near her home.
The Cell Tower appears to now be fully constructed. The documents provided indicate that the Cell Tower has been constructed in the Rural Residential zone. The Rural Residential zone does not specifically list telecommunications towers as a permitted or conditional use. It does, however, list as a conditional use "essential public utility and public service installations." The zoning code also states that the maximum height restriction within the zone is 35 feet. The Cell Tower appears to exceed that restriction significantly. Mr. Western raises numerous other objections to the Cell Tower construction, the Building permit process, and the conditional use permit process, which he believes violates state statutes and local ordinances.
In the City's response, Mayor Bunker indicates, among other things, that Mr. Western has never filed an appeal of the planning and zoning decision to grant the conditional use permit. Moreover, it appears that no appeal was filed against the issuance of the building permit. Mr. Western indicates that when he, his wife Councilwoman Western, or other neighbors raised objection to the tower, they were told by the Mayor or other city personnel that there was nothing that they could do about it, and were not told that they could appeal. Mr. Western states that he was not aware of the appeals process.
I. The Challenger Must Appeal the Decision Locally in Order to Exhaust Administrative Remedies and Be Eligible to Bring a Challenge to the District Court.
The Westerns raise numerous issues and facts which they claim violate Delta City zoning ordinances and state statutes. Some appear to have merit. However, for the reasons stated below, these violations must be properly challenged in order to be enforced by Mr. Western. As the alleged violations have not been properly challenged, they are not addressed in this Advisory Opinion.[1]
Utah Code § 10-9a-802 provides that an adversely affected owner of real estate within a municipality may bring a legal action to abate zoning violations and remove unlawful buildings. However, under Utah Code § 10-9a-801, a person may not bring such an action until the person has exhausted his administrative remedies—meaning that person has brought an appeal to the local appeal authority under the local ordinances in accordance with Utah Code § 10-9a-701 et seq. If administrative remedies are not exhausted, a court challenge to the land use decision is not available. See Patterson v. Am. Fork City, 2003 UT 7.
II. Mr. Western Has Not Filed a Timely Appeal
Utah Code § 10-9a-704 states that a municipality must establish an ordinance providing a deadline to appeal decisions by a land use authority.[2] If the municipality does not establish a deadline for appealing, then under this statute an appeal must be brought within ten days. According to the ordinances provided, Delta City has designated the Planning Commission as the land use authority with regard to granting or denying conditional use permits. Delta City Code § 12-412. Under the Delta City Code, appeals of a decision administering or interpreting a zoning ordinance must be brought within 30 days of the date of the decision. Delta City Code § 12-335.
The Conditional Use Permit was issued in this matter on September 22, 2008. According to local ordinance, Mr. Western had until 30 days after that decision was issued—until October 22, 2009—to appeal the granting of the permit. Failure to appeal by that time represents a failure to exhaust administrative remedies, and an appeal to the district court is not permitted.
It could be that the Westerns were not aware of the issuance of the conditional use permit before October 22, 2009.[3] If that were true, the very recent and similar case of Fox v. Park City, 2008 UT 85, controls. In Fox, the plaintiffs were property owners living near a lot upon which buildings were being constructed. The building permit was issued on July 14, 2005, and construction began soon after. Several weeks later, the neighbors noticed that the buildings appeared to violate the height limitation provisions of the Park City zoning code.
The plaintiffs in Fox immediately reviewed the plans, found that the zoning ordinances were being violated, and filed an appeal on January 19, 2006, but their appeal was denied because it was not brought within ten days of the issuance of the building permit as required by the local ordinance. The plaintiffs appealed. The Supreme Court held that "A right to appeal a decision is meaningless, however, if the person possessing the right has no actual or constructive notice of the decision." Id. at ¶23. However, the Court further held that "if a party does not receive actual notice of the issuance of the permit, the party receives constructive notice that a building permit has been issued when construction begins." Id. at ¶27. In other words, once construction begins, a person is put on notice that permits have been issued. The Court further held that the person is responsible at that time to obtain and review the permits, and determine whether to bring an appeal. The Fox court held that the plaintiffs should have appealed within ten days of the beginning of construction, and not after construction was nearly complete. The Supreme Court affirmed the dismissal the plaintiff's case.
In this case, there is no question that Ms. Western was aware of the construction of the Cell Tower by January 22, 2009, because at the City Council meeting on that date she raises a concern that construction has begun. Even assuming that date was the earliest date that the Westerns were aware of the issuance of the Conditional Use Permit, no appeal was brought before the thirty days after this date. Moreover, it should be pointed out that the Westerns had an additional opportunity to appeal after construction began. The building permit was issued on February 25, 2009. A building permit is a land use decision that can be appealed. The Westerns could have appealed the issuance of the building permit within 30 days after it was issued, but failed to do so.[4] Because they failed to appeal, the Westerns have not exhausted their administrative remedies. They are therefore unable to challenge the issuance of the conditional use permit or the building permit in the district court.
The Westerns have failed to file a local appeal to the issuance of the conditional use permit or the building permit. Utah courts strictly uphold the requirement that administrative remedies be exhausted. Despite the fact that there may be legal and procedural problems with the issuance of the permits and the construction of the Cell Tower, the Westerns may not challenge those permits in the District Court.

This is an advisory opinion as defined in § 13-43-205 of the Utah Code. It does not constitute legal advice, and is not to be construed as reflecting the opinions or policy of the State of Utah or the Department of Commerce. The opinions expressed are arrived at based on a summary review of the factual situation involved in this specific matter, and may or may not reflect the opinion that might be expressed in another matter where the facts and circumstances are different or where the relevant law may have changed.
While the author is an attorney and has prepared this opinion in light of his understanding of the relevant law, he does not represent anyone involved in this matter. Anyone with an interest in these issues who must protect that interest should seek the advice of his or her own legal counsel and not rely on this document as a definitive statement of how to protect or advance his interest.
An advisory opinion issued by the Office of the Property Rights Ombudsman is not binding on any party to a dispute involving land use law. If the same issue that is the subject of an advisory opinion is listed as a cause of action in litigation, and that cause of action is litigated on the same facts and circumstances and is resolved consistent with the advisory opinion, the substantially prevailing party on that cause of action may collect reasonable attorney fees and court costs pertaining to the development of that cause of action from the date of the delivery of the advisory opinion to the date of the court's resolution.
Evidence of a review by the Office of the Property Rights Ombudsman and the opinions, writings, findings, and determinations of the Office of the Property Rights Ombudsman are not admissible as evidence in a judicial action, except in small claims court, a judicial review of arbitration, or in determining costs and legal fees as explained above.
[1] Mr. Western challenges the actions of the City on several bases, including but not limited to inadequate notice, prohibited use within the zone, zoning violations with regard to height and lot size, failure to abide by conditions in conditional use permit, conflicts of interest, failure to properly obtain a building permit, and other substantive and procedural grounds. Had the permit decisions been properly challenged, some of these bases may have invalidated the granting of the conditional use permit or the building permit.
[2] A "land use authority" is defined in state statute as "a person, board, commission, agency, or other body designated by the local legislative body to act upon a land use application." Utah Code § 10-9a-103(22). Thus, a land use authority is the person designated in local ordinance to act upon a land use application. The issuance of a conditional use permit and the issuance of a building permit are both land use decisions, and the person designated to make those decisions is the land use authority under this statute.
[3] The Westerns have not claimed that they lacked notice of the issuance of the Conditional Use Permit.
[4] It is of no consequence that the Westerns did not know of their appeal rights, or that they were told by City personnel that nothing could be done. The Fox court places the responsibility to determine whether to appeal upon the landowner. See id. at ¶34. Moreover, it is likely that a court would assume that Ms. Western was aware of the appeal process, or at least the availability of an appeal, due to her position as a city councilperson.


The world has never been closer to universal access to healthcare for all. This time last year, The Economist ran a feature about how close the planet has come to achieving the benchmark. This truly is feasible, and the major barriers are the intransigence to change, mostly by the financially vested incumbents.
The shocking or disturbing feature of this resistance is that it's self-defeating. By extending healthcare to the groups who are currently unable to access it, the global economy would realize a significant boost in productivity and efficiency, which would more than offset the direct and indirect costs.

History Completed in October 1929 for Prince Line Ltd.
At 08.55 hours on 14 Dec 1940 the unescorted Western Prince (Master John Reed) was hit in the forward part by one G7e torpedo from U-96 about 400 miles 280° from Cape Wrath. The U-boat had encountered a small freighter during the night and missed it twice with a G7e torpedo before the bigger ship was spotted and also missed with a first G7e torpedo at 07.20 hours. While the ship settled by the bow and stopped, the U-boat dived to reload the torpedo tubes and then waited until the crew abandoned ship in lifeboats. At 10.21 hours, a coup de grâce hit again the forward part of the vessel and caused her to sink within one minute. The master, eight crew members and six passengers were lost. 98 crew members and 55 passengers were picked up by the Baron Kinnaird and one crew member by HMS Active (H 14) (Cdr E.C.L. Turner, RN) and landed at Gourock.

Doggett's Coat and Badge Race
Sculler Patrick Keech from Hextable, near Dartford, won the 2019 race.
Click here for a gallery
The 2020 Doggett's Coat & Badge Wager, a historic sculling race on the Thames for recently qualified watermen, first contested in 1715, has been delayed by COVID-19.
The event organiser, the Company of Watermen and Lightermen, is planning two races next year instead, on 16 March and 7 September.
Only the second world war has previously led to the postponement of the annual challenge, from London Bridge to Cadogan Pier, Chelsea, which is thought to be the oldest continuing sporting contest in the world. It's a gruelling test of the participants' knowledge of the river and sporting prowess.
The seven furlong (7,400 metre) race was founded by Thomas Doggett, an Irish actor, in tribute to the skill and bravery of newly-licensed watermen, the London cabbies of their time, who rowed him home along the course route late one night in bad weather, when he would have otherwise been left stranded in the City.
The race was held on 1 August 1715 to commemorate the first anniversary of the accession of King George I to the British throne.
When he died in 1721, Doggett left instructions in his will that the race should continue each 1st August "for ever."
Nine races were held in 1947, for those who missed their chance to row during the war years. This means that the list of winners has remained unbroken since 1715.
Other previous winners of the race include in 1990 Sean Collins, the chief executive and co-founder of Thames Clippers, and the Port of London Authority's Michael Russell in 1997.
Now a regular of the annual Totally Thames festival, the race has been rowed with the tide since 1873.
The race record of 22 minutes and 23 seconds was set in 1973 by Bobby Prentice, who is now race umpire.
The 2019 race, won by Chiswick Tideway sculler Patrick Keech, from Hextable, near Dartford, after a close fight to the finish with James Berry of Thames Clippers, who is training hard for the re-arranged March 2021 contest.

Hua Hin karting is one of the most popular recreational pastimes in this tropical resort town. People come from neighboring villages just to get a taste of this fun activity. But, some people don't know what Hua Hin karting is. Once they find out though, they end up being so excited to do it themselves that they simply cannot wait.
Hua Hin karting is essential go kart racing. Go karts are these small vehicles that can be driven by just one person. They are often used on a closed circuit track in a specified area. The most fun thing about Hua Hin karting is the racing aspect of the sport. Several karts are allowed on the track at once and then you can drive around the track hoping to come out ahead. This kind of recreation is perfect for families because it has something that everyone will enjoy. It also has a bit of the western appeal that tourists tend to miss while they're in foreign countries.
The main place to go karting is the JWS Motorsport Go Kart Track. The Hua Hin karting track at this venue is about 750 meters long and has great curves and long straight-aways. The whole family will have a ball as they maneuver this tricky track. Not only do they have the carting track, but they also have drinks and food for guests as well. That means that you could spend your whole day at the JWS Motorsport Go Kart Track. All you need to pay is 400 Thai baht for one 12 minute ride. That equals to about 13 American dollars. Since Hua Hin karting is so popular, make sure to come early so that you're sure to get lots of driving time in.
When you go karting, be aware that this kind of recreation can be dangerous. If you are unsure of how to work the karts, talk to one of the employees of the track. They will be more than happy to teach you how to go Hua Hin karting. This is a fun and exciting experience for just about anyone. Through it can be dangerous for younger individuals, Hua Hin karting is an amazing event not to be missed by those that visit. If you are visiting, go Hua Hin karting.

Cops caught with shock slideshow
Flip Prior and Gabrielle KnowlesThe West Australian
Sat, 17 December 2011 6:50AM
Two Broome police officers have been stood aside after allegedly showing a slideshow of photographs containing forensic evidence to other police and their partners at a staff Christmas party last week.
Kimberley District Supt Mick Sutherland confirmed yesterday an internal investigation was under way and the officers were stood aside and sent to Perth.
"I transferred them out immediately to Perth and now I'm working through an investigation to examine whether there is any evidence of criminality . . . and whether the officers should remain in the WA Police," Supt Sutherland said, adding criminal charges could be laid.
He said the constable and senior constable, an engaged couple, had accessed the forensic images outside of their official duties.
One had allegedly downloaded images and saved them on to a thumb drive and took them home.
They then made a slideshow said to depict a "day in the life" of a Broome police officer and showed it at the party on December 5.
Supt Sutherland said other police recognised some images as photos of exhibits and forensic investigations and reported the matter to him. Other officers and their partners reportedly walked out of the party in disgust as officers confronted the pair.
Supt Sutherland said the two officers had worked on the slideshow in isolation and other police had been unaware of what they were doing.
Supt Sutherland would not disclose how many images were taken or what they contained, but claimed none made fun of anyone. He said what was in the images was "irrelevant" and the investigation centred only on the misuse of a police computer.
In a separate incident, a senior constable will be stood down from duty after he allegedly tried to tamper with a urine sample during a mandatory drug and alcohol test.
He is believed to be the first officer charged under the new police drug and alcohol testing regime that was introduced two weeks ago.
Internal affairs investigators interviewed the 39-year-old late yesterday over a car crash and used new rules to force him to provide a urine sample for testing. It is alleged he tried to provide a clean urine sample that he had hidden and taken to the interview.

Chinese Woman Seeks Justice After Officials Force Abortion at 9 Months, Remove Uterus
CP Current Page: World | Tuesday, June 26, 2012
By Lillian Kwon, Christian Post Reporter | Tuesday, June 26, 2012
Encouraged by the public outcry over the recent forced abortion of a 7-month pregnant woman in China, another woman has come out to share her horror story.
Zhang Wen Fang was nine months pregnant when she was forced to have an abortion. Not only did she lose her baby but family planning officials also removed her uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and right ovary without her consent.
The incident took place in May 2008. Zhang, who is now 43, shared her story with Chai Ling, founder of All Girls Allowed. She was inspired to step forward after hearing the backlash against the Chinese government over Feng Jianmei's brutal abortion.
It was on May 23 when nearly a dozen family planning officials entered Zhang's home and dragged her into a van to take her to the People's Hospital. They induced labor and injected an unknown chemical into her stomach.
"I pulled the needle out," she recalled to Ling.
But her protests proved futile as she was held down and injected with a second needle.
Two days later, she began having contractions and her water broke. Though she cried for help, she was ignored. She then lost consciousness.
The following day, she woke up in extreme pain. The baby was gone and the officials and doctors would not tell her whether it was alive or dead, she recounted.
The horror continued when Zhang then found out that her uterus was removed. Her mother was forced to sign a form accepting that fact. It was also later revealed that much of her reproductive organs were gone.
"I often have dreams about the baby," Zhang told Ling as she cried. "In those dreams, a child is looking at me and crying, asking, 'Mommy, can you save me?'"
Since the incident, Zhang has been confined to a wheelchair and suffers severe kidney malfunction. She also lost her once successful trucking business and her husband left her.
When she tried petitioning the government, Mr. Guo, the deputy minister of the Family Planning Committee in Hong Hu, rejected her plea.
"I removed the uteruses of 1,000 women, and no one dared to say a word to me," he told her.
Zhang went to the local authorities as recently as last month in hopes of an investigation. But she was turned down and severely beaten by police. Her life was also threatened.
According to Ling, Zhang asked Jesus to guide her life during their conversation last week.
Now, by sharing her story, she hopes to see justice.
"I want justice. I would like to get help. I am forever handicapped. My other child is like an orphan, without much support; I am now dependent on my aging mother," she said. "I would like to see the perpetrators receive justice by law. I would like to ensure that no more families ever have to go through what I have been through, to be butchered like this."
Her testimony comes as pro-life groups and the general public are protesting China's family planning policies and human rights abuses. Many expressed shock at Feng's story when it came out earlier this month.
Feng also went through a similar ordeal of being dragged to the hospital and injected with toxins. She ended up giving birth to a stillborn daughter. A photo of her and her deceased child lying next to her was posted on the Web.
Though the Chinese government apologized for Feng's forced abortion and punished local officials, the abuse is continuing, according to All Girls Allowed. Officials have led men in her village to denounce her as a "traitor" and call for her beating. Her husband, Deng Jiyuan, has also been run out of the village.
China enforces a one-child policy, which applies to couples living in urban areas. A maximum of two children are allowed for couples living in rural areas if the first child is a girl. More than 13 million abortions are performed each year in China.

Nigeria alert amid concerns over new COVID-19 variants
Nigeria is on alert amid global concerns over new strains of COVID-19.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), yesterday, at a press conference in Abuja, said over 663 million confirmed cases and over 6.7 million deaths have been reported globally.
NCDC Director General, Dr. Ifedayo Adetifa, said: "Globally, more than three million new cases and ten thousand deaths have been reported in the week of December 26, 2022 to January 1, 2023. This represents a reduction in weekly cases and deaths of 22 per cent and 12 per cent, respectively.
"The African Region reports a 73 per cent and 32 per cent decrease in new cases and deaths compared to the previous week.
"In the Americas and Western Pacific (including China), there has been a 74 per cent and 29 per cent increase in cases and a 49 per cent and 35 per cent increase in deaths respectively. The increase in these countries, in part, is a component of the winter exacerbation of respiratory illness."
Adetifa said the resurgence of COVID-19 in China, following relaxation of the country's zero-COVID policy and the unsurprising increase in cases, hospitalisation and deaths, also attracts concerns about possible emergence of new variants.
He said the variants circulating in China are predominantly BA.5.2 and Bf.7. According to him, these variants have been circulating in other parts of the world, including Nigeria, since 2022.
An Omicron sub-variant, XBB.1.5, that was originally detected in New York in October 2022 is also on increase in the U.S. and Europe and has now been identified in more than 25 countries. The XBB.1.5 is the most transmissible form of Omicron but it is not clear if it is more virulent than its ancestor.
The epidemiologist noted that in Nigeria, NCDC has 5,708,974 samples tested, 266,463 confirmed cases, 259,850 discharged cases and unfortunately 3,155 deaths recorded in 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
He said COVID-19 has and continues to follow a different epidemiological course in Nigeria and most of Africa, with lesser cases, admissions, and deaths from the Omicron sub-lineages.
On efforts to contain the current threat, he said: "The NCDC-led COVID-19 Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) is closely monitoring the rise in the new Omicron sub-lineage, XBB.1.5, in the U.K. and U.S., and the current resurgence in China and other countries with a high volume of traffic to and from Nigeria.
"The sub-lineages partly responsible for the current increase in COVID-19 cases in other countries (XBB. 1.5 and BF.7), have not yet been detected in the country as of November 2022. We are working to complete testing and analysis for December 2022.
"Since the detection of the Omicron variant in December 2021, its sub-lineage (BQ.1/BQ.1.1) has been dominant in Nigeria.
"It is important to note that regardless of COVID-19 variants in different parts of the world, severe disease, admissions and deaths disproportionately affect the unvaccinated and those with established risk factors i.e., older people, people with co-morbidities etc.
"The most important action for Nigerians to take is to get vaccinated against COVID-19, as the vaccine is the most important intervention for preventing severe disease, hospitalisation, and death.
"Additionally, though COVID-19 protocols and restrictions have been eased, people at high risk for severe COVID-19 are advised to continue to adhere to recommended non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPIs), such as the use of face masks, good hand and respiratory hygiene and avoidance of crowded spaces."
On other infectious diseases, he said: "We continue to respond to infectious diseases, including Lassa fever, Mpox, and more. To date, there are 8,202 suspected cases and 1,067 confirmed cases of Lassa fever across 27 states and 112 council areas.
"Cumulatively, from Week 1 to Week 52, 2022, 189 deaths have been reported with a case fatality rate (FR) of 17.7 per cent, which is lower than the CFR for the same period in 2021 (20.0 per cent). 72 per cent of all confirmed Lassa fever cases in 2022 were reported from three states (Ondo, Edo and Bauchi).
"Most recently, the NCDC, in collaboration with partners, federal and state stakeholders of the Technical Working Group (TWG), successfully conducted finalisation and validation of a five-year strategic plan to reduce Lassa fever fatality ratio in the country to less than ten per cent.
"We continually appeal to Nigerians to practice personal and environmental hygiene to prevent the infestation of rats in our homes and communities, especially during this dry season, which is when we typically record more cases of Lassa fever cases."

The Hanoverian Army of the Napoleonic Wars
Men-at-Arms 206
Author: Peter Hofschröer
Illustrator: Bryan Fosten
Short code: MAA 206
Of all the armies of the German States, that of Hanover remains of greatest interest to the British reader due to the close links between the crowns of the two states. Throughout the Napoleonic era Britain and Hanover had the same head of state, George III. Symbolic of their close relationship, the Hanoverian Army wore uniforms and used equipment largely similar to those used by the British Army. Complemented by numerous illustrations and photographs, plus eight full page colour plates, this text explores the uniforms and organization of the army of the Electorate of Hanover and the King's German Legion.
Peter Hofschröer is a qualified historian and linguist specialising in the Napoleonic Wars. His two volume work 1815: The Waterloo Campaign received the 1999 Napoleonic Society of America Literary Award. He is a well-known contributor to various academic and hobby magazines, is a fellow of the International Napoleonic Society and has been twice awarded the Bismarck Memorial Medal. His previous works include Campaign 25 Leipzig 1813. Bryan Fosten was born in 1928, the son of a Master Military Embroiderer and a Court Embroidress. He served in the army in Egypt and Palestine and returned to follow the printing trade. Since 1973 he has devoted himself to military research and illustration. He is the founding editor of the innovative magazine Tradition and has written and illustrated many books, often in collaboration with his late brother, Donald Fosten.

As with any parallel and distributed data processing system, load balancing is an important issue. For best possible system throughput and response time for user interactions, resource utilization has to be optimized. In this context we are developing a dynamic load balancing interface and integrate it with Equalizer's ability to distribute the workload among available graphics resources. The targeted solution will dynamically assess the workload and resource availability and assign the most optimum work distribution to the parallel resources considering parameters like resource power, locality of data as well as communication and synchronization requirements and dependencies. Apart from a feedback loop at runtime, the load balancing infrastructure will expose an API to the application for gathering timing and statistics data, and distribute the work accordingly. In order to improve the accuracy of load prediction, we employ a feedback control algorithm from control theory called PID controller.


Monkeys, Elephants & Clowns – Oh my!
The day before the presidential inauguration, I learned that Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey planned to fold their tents. No more traveling acrobats and animal acts. Where would the performers go? I envisioned a circus parading cross-country to WashingtonDC.
Nursing my sorrow over this year's election results, I had a bit of fun tweaking an old circus advertisement. I wrote a companion poem and edited another poem that also seem to reflect my post-election angst.
The mock advertisement and animal-themed poems found a home in the #NotMyPresident series at Heavy Feather Review. Find them here.
